    yeah if you wanna look like a 10 year old child on steroids do 15 reps… if you want mass and strength gain do 6-8 slow, solid reps.

  • DrewBreesMVP9 says:

    10-15 reps? this guy training men to grow clitorises. Lift some heavy weights and focus on lower reps than 10. More reps to build muscle is a myth

    @greiper too heavy causes damage to your body

  • worldofmig says:

    @greiper dude.. are you stupid or something? you will grow even if you are lifting 1 kg. it will just take a hell of alot more time. There are no reason to take heavy weight, unless you are trying to look like a bodybuilding moron

  • montelka says:

    AND THERE YOU ARE DONE????
    that’s just the beginning!

  • Constantine310 says:

    u should know what too heavy means if u cant do more than 8 its too heavy,,,

  • kumar01234 says:

    there is a difference between going heavy and too heavy. if you go heavy ya you will grow ur muscles or get it more tone. if you go too heavy you wont grow ur muscle you will probably have some muscle injury or some muscle tear or something like that.

  • LokiNTB says:

    If you go too heavy you may hurt yourself or just tire, you need to maintain the workout long enough to break down muscle structure, then it grows back stronger

  • greiper says:

    if you don’t go too heavy you won’t grow so what’s the point?! O-o

  • piratelord99 says:

  • RonMeijers says:

    Cause it aint horizontal.

  • Farcry437 says:

    Why is it called vertical?

  • Jamaycon says:

    Free weights are more difficult in my opinion…. so machines kinda help keep the balance… 2 months ago when i started i dont think i`d have done much without the machines, so i stick with the idea that machines are for beginners, only when i got more confident i started doing more of the free weight stuff…

  • xjusticex2013x says:

    No, that’s what your supposed to do. In weight lifting, you need to push it if you’re serious about making gains.

  • RaNdOsMaShEr says:

    Just because their easier to perform doesn’t make them for begginers. When you start working out you need a serious boost of testosterone so you shoud use compound excercises on free weights, such as deathlift, squat, bench press. Machines won’t give you that.

  • dxvanedf2 says:

    Nope. You’re the one who’s confused ma’am. Machines are less intimidating because they’re only designed to do one exercise. Beginners are confused about which exercise to do when they see free weights. they’re also easier to use because they’re on a fixed path.

  • RaNdOsMaShEr says:

    sorry but you are so wrong.

  • dxvanedf2 says:

    Beginner sshould be doing basic easy exercises with machines not free weights brother

  • JakobHarquail666 says:

    What’s wrong with going to the max? A lot of these videos say 10-15 reps but I have been going until I can’t possibly do another rep… is there anything wrong with doing that?
